FILE - This Nov. 15, 2000 file photo shows science fiction writer Ray Bradbury at the National Book Awards in New York. Two pieces released this fall were written late in life by the science fiction/fantasy master, who died in June at age 91. Bradbury contributed "The Book and the Butterfly," an introduction to this year's edition of "The Best American Nonrequired Reading." And he conceived a stark encounter between a young boy and a man he believes is Santa Claus in "Dear Santa," which appears in the holiday issue of Strand Magazine, based in Birmingham, Mich.
